It is amazing to me how quickly this shawl is working up compared to how long it took me to make my first Evenstar. I suppose a lot of that has to do with experience. When I knit the Evenstar shawl as part of the Mystery Knit Along (back in 2010!) I had only knit 5 other shawls and it was my first time using pure silk lace weight yarn. It took me almost 4 1/2 months to complete. This time around it will probably take me less than 2 months. In other big news, today I published all of my modifications to Ravelry as a free download, with the permission of the original designer. There is not enough detail in my modifications file to knit the pattern without the original pattern as I don't include all of the charts. I do include my modified Chart 2 that shifts the start of that chart to make it symmetrical and I also include a modified Border chart.
Pattern: Evenstar Shawl by Susan Pandorf, converted into a cape
Yarn: The Unique Sheep Eos in Midnight Delight
Needle: US 3 (3.25 mm)
